"Septic Tank"

Australians funny alterations on sounds to coin new nicknames so "Septic Tank" has been an affectionate term for "Goddamn Yank" for years.

Up until now it was meant as good natured ribbing.

Australia faces particularly challenging disasters due to climate change including some of the largest wild fires in the interior that the world has ever seen.

The Great Barrier Reef is dying before our eyes

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority considers the greatest threat to the Great Barrier Reef to be climate change, causing ocean warming which increases coral bleaching.[62][63] Mass coral bleaching events due to elevated ocean temperatures occurred in the summers of 1998, 2002 and 2006,[64] and coral bleaching is expected to become an annual occurrence.[65] As global warming continues, corals will not be able to keep up with increasing ocean temperatures.

What a wonderful legacy for Trump.
